Seeing as how the blog is Public for all to see, I think it would be a bad business model to make that information available.
From time to time on Taxi TV Michael will let us know how many tunes were submitted for a specific Listing that's being discussed...
Generally quite a lot!
The more specific the Listing(ie. Old Recordings/Tuba Solos/Middle Eastern Cowboy Rap) the less will be submitted due to limited supply
If you would like the information so to estimate what you are up against as far as possible talented competition, well...
Assume that there is a lot of talent out there!
Just listening to what has been forwarded will give you a good idea of what you are up against
How I see it...

I'm with Cass on this one... it also opens the door to people getting up in arms about forward to submission ratios, making it easier to jump on the mental bandwagon of "it's the screener's fault" vs "how can I improve my music". The former is harmful on multiple levels imo.

The number of submissions per each listing is fairly irrelevant.... what matters most is if you got a forward, or if you didn't (and knowing why).

But if a library needs one track, is it not better to know that I am one of 5 forwards instead of 1 in 50?

P.S.: There was that guy with the 400 forwards and 0 contracts in drones. Had he had such stats, maybe he would have moved on towards other genres if he had seen that he regularly was 1 of 200 forwards? Just a hypothesis...

It's the actual amount of submissions overall that isn't published. And, I think, for good reason.

Hi Matt - yeah, I noticed my mistake earlier. But I do think that the number of submissions would be interesting to know. It would possibly help to steer the supply a little towards genres with less submissions, and it would indicate what level I have reached with a forward. E.g. is this a forward where 50 of 100 submissions went through, or 5 out of 100. I would possibly be a little prouder of the latter one.

Watched the two shed episodes today. Good stories! I hope the fans will not bug you too much at this year's Road Rally. Pity I can't go.

Did he really need stats to move on to other genres? He should have been doing other things as well as drone cues.
